The Centre for Tourism Research, CICtourGUNE, is the scientific and technological infrastructure dedicated to the creation and transfer of knowledge excellence in the area of tourism and mobility. CICtourGUNE is defined as an innovation hub for Basque tourism. Today these centres, known as innovative ´hubs´ or environments (ihubs), serve as points of strategic alliance between companies and stakeholders of the Basque Innovation System, including research centres, universities, business associations, financial groups (venture capital) and innovation agencies, among others.
